Typography Class
################
The Typography Class provides methods that help you format text.
.. contents::
:local:
.. raw:: html
<div class="custom-index container"></div>
**************************
Using the Typography Class
**************************
Initializing the Class
======================
Like most other classes in CodeIgniter, the Typography class is
initialized in your controller using the ``$this->load->library()`` method::
$this->load->library('typography');
Once loaded, the Typography library object will be available using::
$this->typography
***************
Class Reference
***************
.. class:: CI_Typography
.. attribute:: $protect_braced_quotes = FALSE
When using the Typography library in conjunction with the :doc:`Template Parser library <parser>`
it can often be desirable to protect single and double quotes within curly braces.
To enable this, set the ``protect_braced_quotes`` class property to TRUE.
Usage example::
$this->load->library('typography');
$this->typography->protect_braced_quotes = TRUE;
.. method auto_typography($str[, $reduce_linebreaks = FALSE])
:param string $str: Input string
:param bool $reduce_linebreaks: Whether to reduce consequitive linebreaks
:returns: HTML typography-safe string
:rtype: string
Formats text so that it is semantically and typographically correct HTML.
Takes a string as input and returns it with the following formatting:
- Surrounds paragraphs within <p></p> (looks for double line breaks to identify paragraphs).
- Single line breaks are converted to <br />, except those that appear within <pre> tags.
- Block level elements, like <div> tags, are not wrapped within paragraphs, but their contained text is if it contains paragraphs.
- Quotes are converted to correctly facing curly quote entities, except those that appear within tags.
- Apostrophes are converted to curly apostrophe entities.
- Double dashes (either like -- this or like--this) are converted to em—dashes.
- Three consecutive periods either preceding or following a word are converted to ellipsis (…).
- Double spaces following sentences are converted to non-breaking spaces to mimic double spacing.
Usage example::
$string = $this->typography->auto_typography($string);
There is one optional parameter that determines whether the parser should reduce more than two consecutive line breaks down to two.
Pass boolean TRUE to enable reducing line breaks::
$string = $this->typography->auto_typography($string, TRUE);
.. note:: Typographic formatting can be processor intensive, particularly if you have a lot of content being formatted.
If you choose to use this method you may want to consider :doc:`caching <../general/caching>` your pages.
.. method:: format_characters($str)
:param string $str: Input string
:returns: Formatted string
:rtype: string
This method is similar to ``auto_typography()`` above, except that it only does character conversion:
- Quotes are converted to correctly facing curly quote entities, except those that appear within tags.
- Apostrophes are converted to curly apostrophe entities.
- Double dashes (either like -- this or like--this) are converted to em—dashes.
- Three consecutive periods either preceding or following a word are converted to ellipsis (…).
- Double spaces following sentences are converted to non-breaking spaces to mimic double spacing.
Usage example::
$string = $this->typography->format_characters($string);
.. method:: nl2br_except_pre($str)
:param string $str: Input string
:returns: Formatted string
:rtype: string
Converts newlines to <br /> tags unless they appear within <pre> tags.
This method is identical to the native PHP :php:func:`nl2br()` function, except that it ignores <pre> tags.
Usage example::
$string = $this->typography->nl2br_except_pre($string);
